Any Western regional wholesale electricity market should include robust and transparent greenhouse gas accounting provisions. This set of greenhouse gas accounting best practices is relevant to market operators, utilities, regulators, and policymakers across an array of possible wholesale electricity market constructs. These best practices offer tools to ensure a future accounting system aligns with regional wholesale electricity markets and does not interfere with reliable market dispatch procedures. Additional best practices can be found in Western Resource Advocates’ white paper “Greenhouse Gas Accounting Systems in Wholesale Regional Electricity Markets: Considerations for the Western Interconnection.”
